May Faire at the school

Sharing my love of craft with the world

When my first daughter was an infant in the early 1990's I decided it would be fun to make clothes for her. I found an old, yet sturdy sewing machine and set to work. I made many an outfit and then began to make clothes, and baby slings and a variety of toys for her and my friends children.

I quickly discovered that altering and mending and hemming clothes for people was another way to expand my craft. From that experience, I discovered how much I loved to create.

When my children began going to Waldorf school, I discovered yet another place to enjoy creating, crafting and teaching. I learned to make dolls and toys from a master doll maker who generously shared her time and energy. From there, I began teaching adults and then children a variety of fiber arts.

After having sold my creations at a variety of fairs and outdoor markets, I discovered Etsy and knew this was a way to get my creations out into the world.

Since then, I have enjoyed making, sharing and creating custom orders for people all over the world. It is a pleasure and an honor to make a special gift to be cherished by others.

Love of fiber and love of craft have kept me creative for many a year. Teaching and sharing this love brings me much joy and excitement for the creative process. I have enjoyed this my whole life and will continue learning every day!

Thank you for supporting my love of crafting! I began making gifts as a child and when I had my first daughter 17+ years ago I decided to start making clothes for her. I purchased an old Kenmore sewing machine and went to the library for books... all I could find were patterns for doll clothes. So I decided to make my own patterns. How hard could it be? And then I went on to crafting dolls and toys for her and as gifts for friends and family. After becoming a handwork teacher at the Eugene Waldorf School over 11 years ago, my love of creating has blossomed! And now my house is a crafter's workshop! Your purchase allows my designs to flow out into the wide world and spread the love and care they were designed with everywhere!!! Thank you!
